I am loath to decide that the plain English words don't mean what they say explicitly. Hence my reason for this thread.

I don't know what SJ meant when he wrote that, so I tend to assume he meant what he wrote, barring clear evidence to the contrary. On the other hand, I've become convinced that the rule Lars and Skarg suggests is more sensible, so rather than argue over whether SJ meant what he wrote, I've decided to adopt that rule.

But I'll always give more weight prima facie to what is actually written.
